Quick note
The cleanest start is Headway

If you want the fastest path into care, book through Headway. If you’re unsure about fit, call or email first.

What we do
EMDR + skills + regulation

I primarily provide Transformational EMDR Therapy, and I also offer TF‑CBT when a trauma‑focused, skills‑forward structure is the best fit (especially for teens and families).

How do I start (and what’s the fastest way to book)?

The fastest start is through Headway. It shows availability and guides you through the onboarding steps. If you prefer, you can also call or email to ask questions about fit before booking.

Do you work with teens?

Yes. I work with adolescents and adults ages 13–65. For teens, we keep the work developmentally appropriate and skills-forward, and we can incorporate TF-CBT when it’s a strong fit.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. Telehealth sessions are available across Florida. It’s a strong option if you want consistency, flexibility, or you’re not local to Jacksonville Beach.

Where are in-person sessions located?

In-person sessions are available in Jacksonville Beach by appointment: 3004 3rd St S, Unit D, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250.

What exactly is EMDR?

EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing—is a structured method that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and triggers. Rather than staying stuck in old loops, the nervous system learns a new “felt sense” of safety and control.

What approaches and regulation tools do you use?

EMDR is the primary approach. TF-CBT is available when a structured, skills-based model is the best fit—particularly for adolescents. Neurofeedback and Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) can be used as regulation tools when added nervous system support is clinically helpful.

What if I’m worried EMDR will be too intense?

That concern is valid. We don’t rush. Stabilization and resourcing come first, and we only move into reprocessing when your system has enough capacity. The goal is steady progress—not overwhelm.

Do you take insurance?

Scheduling is done through Headway. Headway can help you check coverage and eligibility based on your plan. If you have questions, you can reach out before booking.

What are your hours?

Hours are 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM. Availability varies by week; Headway will show current openings.
